HONDA in 2017 at the CES show had the amazing Riding Assist vehicle active balance assist system, when HONDA's automatic balancing and can follow the owner's movement at low speed showed that many people were shocked, and recently HONDA also invited the media in Japan to visit the new generation of Riding Assist 2.0, bringing more breathtaking new technologies.
The original Riding Assist active balance assist system, unveiled in 2017, clearly shows that the vehicle is balanced by front wheel steering
The Riding Assist 2.0 displayed by HONDA this time is also derived from the balance system of its robot ASIMO, but unlike the previous generation of institutions that use front wheel steering to assist in balance, this time HONDA directly adds a server motor dedicated to the auxiliary balance system on the body, through which the left and right positions of the swingarm are adjusted to balance the vehicle, and the angle looks very incredible in the photo.
HONDA researcher Kazushi Akimoto said: "The old system will bring a greater sense of intervention when the rider steers, which will affect the handling feeling of the vehicle riding up, and the new system uses the motor to control the left and right positions of the swingarm, which performs better in the low-speed state, and also reduces the sense of intervention, and the rider is completely unaffected by the balance system when riding at normal speed."
Riding Assist 2.0 balances the vehicle by adding a motor-linked rocker arm to the body and controlling the entire set of rear wheel mechanisms to move left and right
With this new system, HONDA can achieve a speed of 2 kilometers per hour can still easily balance the vehicle forward without reversing, although the system is still some distance away from the mass production and listing, but HONDA is also proud to shout the goal of zeroing the number of deaths of the brand's two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles in 2050.
Judging from the videos released by HONDA and the photos taken in interviews with Japanese media, the new Riding Assist 2.0 is very efficient, in addition to not reversing at low speeds, even if you stop in place, you don't need to lean on the side pillar or the middle column, but the whole swingarm swings left and right with the motor, which makes people very curious about what it will be like to actually ride on the car.
